 He eventually published the "Andante and Finale" in 1897 in Taneyev's version for piano and orchestra, and gave it the opus number 79, as if it were a composition by Tchaikovsky, which is only partly true.The first performance of "Andante and Finale" took place on February 8, 1897, in St. Petersburg with Taneyev as soloist.Consistent with Tchaikovsky's practice in his first two concertos, Taneyev reduces the orchestra to woodwinds, horns and strings for the Andante.
